Eriugena/Erigena, John Scotus
(
c.
810–
c.
877).
Neoplatonic
philosopher. He was an Irishman who became head of the palace school at Laon, but little else is known about his life. His importance lies mainly in his knowledge of Gk. and his work as translator and interpreter of
Dionysius
the Areopagite,
Maximus the Confessor
, and Gregory of Nyssa. His influence was muted by his condemnation in the 13th cent., and the inherent difficulty of his thought. His own treatise,
Periphyseon
(On the Division of Nature), represents the first important influence of Neoplatonism on the W. since Boethius.
